Biography
Haeun Cho is a harpsichordist whose work grows from Baroque repertoire toward a broader field of chamber music and performance collaboration. Her playing is grounded in close reading, refined sound, and a strong sense of musical architecture.
She studied harpsichord with Tatjana Vorobjova before continuing at the Hochschule fur Musik und Darstellende Kunst Frankfurt, where she completed both bachelor's and master's studies with Eva Maria Pollerus.
Today she appears as a soloist and chamber musician across Europe, performing in projects connected to Kronberg Academy, Rheingau Music Festival, Otium Moment, and Lotus Ensemble Frankfurt.
Artist Statement
"Between Baroque tradition and timeless expression"
For me, historical performance is not a museum gesture. It is a living practice of listening, questioning, and renewing the expressive possibilities of each work.
I am drawn to music that reveals how structure and imagination can breathe together. In every program, I try to create a line between precision and vulnerability, scholarship and immediacy.
When music changed the direction
Before committing to music, Haeun Cho was preparing for a different academic path. Encountering Baroque repertoire with greater depth became a turning point.
Through the layered rhetoric of Vivaldi and the expressive power of keyboard music, she discovered an artistic language that felt both intellectually rigorous and deeply personal.
That experience led her toward the harpsichord and, eventually, to a professional life centered on performance, collaboration, and historical inquiry.
